In fully restored condition. Fairly stiffly relined cleaned and re-varnished. The surface is somewhat flattened and the paint is thin places as a result of the restoration process. Some surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. Some general retouching and strengthening throughout sky. There is little to determine in the way of retouching within the foreground but it may not preclude the possibility. Otherwise in a broadly stable and presentable state of preservation.
